Building reactive, scalable and fault tolerant applications

New Life of Money

A new class of applications becoming more and more prevalent in both consumer and enterprise-facing environments, reactive applications are fundamentally different to the traditional web-based or mobile applications seen today and are distinguished by having one or more of the following defining traits.

Responsive - Rich, engaging, single page user interfaces that provide instant feedback based on user interactions and other stimuli

Resilient - The ability to recover and repair itself automatically in order to provide seamless business continuity

Elastic - Can scale within and across nodes elastically to provide compute power on-demand when it’s needed

Message Driven - Because of their event driven architecture, under high load reactive applications require much less hardware resource than traditional applications, reducing hosting costs
